Rescuing dry pork tenderloin
I marinated and broiled some pork tenderloin and it turned out very dry, even though it was pink in the center. I still have leftovers and am racking my brain to figure out what I could do to the leftovers that would improve them. Any ideas??
( I have some homemade green chili sauce and some red chili sauce in the freezer and leftover corn and scallion pancakes that I served with the pork).

Dice it up and make pork fried rice or add it to a vegetable stir-fry.
Broiling a pork tenderloin isn't the best idea. For future reference, marinate it, dry it off, sear the outside in oil in an oven-safe skillet, then into the oven at 375 for 15 min ur until the temp is 155-160. Meanwhile, boil the marinade and add some dairy to make a sauce.

grind it up in a food pro or meat grinder and make a meat salad, not unlike a tuna salad. You can add some of your chili sauceto the meat to add moisture and roll it up in the scallion pancakes. Could also be part of a filling for spring roll or summer rolls.
I have made chopped meat salad with left over roast beef but never done it with pork tenderloin. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Adding mayo would give it some moisture and fat which it might need. Along with the Asian flavors it could turn out not too bad.
